I want a new Christmas tree and decorations so bad. For the last 12 years I've been using the same ole tree. It was given to us by my mother-in-law the first year my husband and I celebrated Christmas together. Unfortunately, it looks like I will be using it again this year, as finances won't allow for one of those fancy frosted trees that I seen displayed at a function last year and

MRSA stands for Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and is a bacterial infection that is hard to treat as it is resistant to traditional antibiotic treatment. It can enter the body through any open source, such as a cut, scrape, wound, or by any source that enters the body such as a breathing tube or catheter. Most people think that MRSA is a hospital acquired infection, but it can also

I absolutely love candles--mostly because they can change the ambiance of a room simply by stimulating the olfactory--but also because candles make me feel relaxed and cozy. So you can imagine my excitement when I heard about Scandle's new Shimmering Body Candle. I had never heard of a "body candle" before and so I was intrigued. Just what does a body candle do? Well, simply put, it turns a

It was Friday when the black cat darted across the gravel road in front of the truck. My son immediately squealed..."Now you're gonna have bad luck". We laughed and thought nothing of it.

Today would have been my mother's birthday! She would have been 65 years old and there is not a day that goes by that I don't wish she was still here with us. Her battle with cancer ended in 2003, right after Christmas, and it has always been my greatest regret that I was not able to be at her side when she passed away. My children were only one and four when she passed away, and my son had only

Okay, so I will admit, I have never played Backgammon. Not because it didn't look fun, but for the same reason I never learned to play Chess. I have no patience for rules and tend to change them to make them fit my version of the game. This does not work well when playing against someone who actually took time to read the rules...trust me on this...I've tried. But, I have found a version of the

My daughter likes to claim the title "Tom Boy", yet she shows time and time again that she has a bit of "girly" in her. For example--and I will so be in trouble for sharing this--but the other day she had her hair in her face all day. I kept telling her time and time again to get her hair out of her eyes, to the point she just refused to move her hair back and started crying.  I found this highly

I have thin, fine hair and when I attempt to use traditional hair bows or accessories, they hardly ever hold my hair. The only thing that does hold my hair is those plastic claw clips (I use the small size and it holds up all my hair) but they give me horrible migraines and I'm always breaking them. When I heard about the Flexi-8 flexible barrette I was leery if they would actually work. I had

Big feet do not run in my family. Big ears do...but not big feet. I am a size 8 Wide...or maybe a 9 depending on the style. I don't consider that too large, but about average. So, why is my daughter already wearing a size 8 Wide shoe too? She's only eleven! I'm certain her feet will keep growing...eventually, but my goodness, what size will she be at by then?  Okay, so she has big feet. I try not

As a nurse, one thing I do all day long is wash my hands. After awhile, all the washing and antibacterial gels tend to dry out my skin. I notice that I get tons of hang nails and my cuticles tend to get all puffy and irritated. Therefore, when I was given an opportunity to try the Skin MD Natural Shielding Lotion, I was pretty excited. It is formulated with over 93% natural ingredients that are

I wanted to reassure everyone that I am still here. Simply trying to adjust to a few changes going on in my life at the moment. I just started a new job at a local nursing home, first job as an LPN, so it's been quite the adjustment. Plus, I am still going to college full time in pursuit of my Social Work degree, and although most of my courses are online this semester, the homework is just as

Now, I wasn't even going to take pictures of the car show my family attended on Saturday, but my hubby convinced me that I needed to post something for the men out there that like to read blogs. So, as you drool and reminiscence over all these classic, vintage cars and trucks, you can thank my husband!!! We had a great time, and the children loved seeing all the neat "hotrods". Hope you enjoy!
